Sammy Learning



Another South Korean ELT course. 2007 Web course, used at least until 2010. Original title 새미학습. Pic 1 from grade 3 Lesson 10 I can swim 2/4 clip 새미학습 초등영어 3학년 2학기 10단원 2차시.

Pic 2 from YouTube clip "새미학습 초등영어 4학년 1학기 1단원 1차시" Elementary grade 4 or 1. Lesson 1 Nice to meet you 1/4. Both uploader min780508 신민철.

From reporters Kim Jae-hong and Kwon Jeong-ho from Gyeongnam. Aka Sammi Learning, Saemi Learning. I haven't checked all clips but there are few live-action scenes. 

There are also clips with the green alien comic character Zeeto 지토 from the "Kevin and Ann" series. Lesson 1 Nice to Meet You 3/4.

Elementary School English (later edition)

 

During research for the Kevin and Ann series, I found some other clips on YouTube assuming for another course, but it's also the same South Korean public course Elementary School English by Genius Education Co. Ltd. (천재교육) / Ham Soonae (함순애) grades 3-6 but a later edition. I think not the current edition by EBS. Maybe a late 2010s edition.

Pic 1 from grade 5 lesson 8 (How much are the shoes?) showing Tony, pic 2 from grade 4 lesson 8 (I'm a pilot) showing Kevin. Some girls are Lisa and Ubin. Most or all units still have the same title like "Whose Sock is this?". Clips are 10-20 minutes but have 2 very brief live-action scenes each, about 1 minute total. 2020 uploads by TV-rw4gg (방콕TV). One clip is called  5학년영어#Where are you from?#디지털교과서#천재교과서#함순애#1과2차시.

Probably the link from the namu wiki helps for more details about all editions

Other literature: 


Plot (short): A course from South Korea. At least for grades 3-6. There are supplement CD-ROMs for each grade, but I think only grades 5+6 have these live-action scenes. Characters are Jinho, Nami, Mrs. Smith, Peter, Joon, and Ann. Kevin, Mike, Jenny, and Sam appear only in American scenes, and Kevin appears in Korea. Kevin (pic 2 below) was also named Bill in 5th grade. Pic 1 showing Joon with painted freckles.

Setting is South Korea and there are Korean children such as Mina and Minsu, but the school is an elementary school attended by Americans, probably a foreign school.

I don't know Korean, but I did some research, mainly for the CDs. Best source is the Namu Wiki and the Naver blog.

The main book cartoon character and maybe the series title is Jito (in English Zeeto) Korean 지토. It's a small green flying Alien. (The Book title is 영어 (what means English) and below Elementary School English and the grade). The Alien isn't pictured on the cover but kids. Update: pictured on grade 3+4 books. Book publishers for grade 3+4 was Genius Education aka Chunjae (천재교육), For grade 5+6 Kumsung Publishing aka Geumseong (금성출판사).

Not much is known about the actors. On the Namu wiki I found at least one name of a Korean child actor, Ahn Jae-hong (안재홍 * 1989). Korean title: 초등학교 영어5. Best search term 추억의 초등학교 영어 CD.

All clips (live-action and animation/clay) of grade 6 (on 13 pages), other clips are on YouTube, mainly uploader wayhenry.
